Running for Time: Ogiue Maniax Status Update for June 2026

This past month was lighter on anime and manga–specific content for that reason, which I hope to rectify.

My mind feels like it’s in a whirl. There are a lot of things I want to write about anime-wise, but I find myself unable to get everything out there in a timely fashion. On a personal level, I think I’m struggling with writing well and putting out insightful commentary. I’m shooting from the hip pretty often, for better or for worse.

June is actually a month I look forward to, though, as it’s an important time for me. I have many plans, and I look forward to some memorable experiences.

Thank you to my Patreon members below for their generosity!

It was a great time, and I hope they come back for a second year

Closing

It’s also been a hell of a time as a VTuber fan, between a Haachama anniversary message that’s trying to bring hope after some serious turmoil, two graduations from V4Mirai, and more. Since Saturday, I find myself listening to the final cover from Komo Dokueki (the Mahoromatic opening) and Serina Maiko’s cover of “Secret Base.”
